| Summary |
This collection of 350 of the most commonly asked questions about HIV infection and AIDS provides succinct, plain-English answers that conform with the best, most current medical and psychological research. Culled from a sample of 1,600 questions addressed to two major urban AIDS hotlines, these questions represent more closely the concerns of the general reader than any previous discussion of the subject. Facts and solid guidance are further enhanced by the inclusion of a glossary of terms and selected medications, a directory of local and national HIV/AIDS resources, and a listing of state and national hotline numbers.
